1. Old news first:
Diplo and M.I.A. have,
by several accounts, gone their separate ways. On the bright side, Diplo and Sasha Frere-Jones have kissed and
made up. (n.h.)
1.5. S/FJ is correct, by the way. That Diplo "Hollaback" remix
is online somewhere. Specifically, on the
Rub wesbsite: Gwen Stefani,
Hollaback Girl (Diplo Remix) (mp3)
2. Still no sign of the
Missy Elliott/M.I.A. track surfacing, but here's two even more ridiculous collabos:
Snoop Dogg feat. the Bee-Gees, "
Ups and Downs" (mp3, via S.I.N.)
Ol Dirty Bastard feat. Macy Gray, "
Don't Go Breaking My Heart" (mp3, via S.I.N.)
3. GRIME UPDATE:
This guy's got a couple more album tracks from Kano's
Home Sweet Home; check your local P2P/torrent nozzle for full-album leaks. Hush-hush Kano tour date (singular) in major metropolitan East Coast market coming in August.
4. Everyone loves
baile funk. Especially
the guys who made this t-shirt.
Perhaps as a way to sell t-shirts, they've also put out DJ Sujinho's
I Love Baile Funk mix. (mp3, via
Lemon-Red, via
boomselection, via
murksleezy.) Another worthy introduction to the form. Even better, the liner notes are
online.
5. If that doesn't make you a baile-funk fan, OTD guarantees this next one will: especially for our rock readers. Gotta agree with our old pal
Douglas Wolk: the best baile-funk song ever is the one with the loudest guitars. Hearing this in late '04 made us want to hock all our Teengenerate and Hellacopters vinyl . . .
